Question 420
During a post-incident audit at a retail marketplace, the IS auditor learns that system cutover has no plan to reconcile late-arriving transactions. The affected operation supports customer checkout and order fulfillment. Customer transactions and market trust depend on effective control. Management states that remediation is complete. Which evidence BEST supports closing this issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct. Signed reconciliations, resolved exceptions and end-to-end business checks show migrated data are complete and accurate. This is stronger than a manager's verbal assurance because it can be checked against the observed issue that system cutover has no plan to reconcile late-arriving transactions. The reviewer must verify the remediation period and scope.
